Core & Main delivered a solid Q3 FY25, with revenue and earnings both exceeding analyst expectations. CNM's valuation appears fair, trading at a discount to most peers, but not cheap enough to warrant a bullish upgrade. Management reaffirmed FY25 guidance, highlighted multi-year infrastructure tailwinds, and expanded the share buyback program to $1 billion.
